Self Catering Cottages Scottish Borders, Southern Scotland

The three self catering farm holiday cottages near Kelso, at Hendersyde Farm, are West, Southsyde and East Cottage.

On a working farm in the Scottish Borders, the cottages stand in a peaceful spot, at the end of their own lane.

The views stretch for miles westerly to the Eildon Hills by Melrose, north to the foothills of the Lammermuirs and south over the Tweed Valley to the Cheviot Hills in the Northumberland National Park!

The simple traditional layout means each cottage has a back porch leading into the kitchen. The bathroom, sitting room and garden door lead off the hall.

Upstairs the spacious twin and double bed room still have their original, though now redundant, fireplaces!

Out-side is a private, enclosed, south-facing garden, where you can relax in peace! With just the sounds and songs of the Border countryside for company!

There is a grass area at the end of the lane beside the cottages. We have fishing nets for small expeditions to the Eden, perhaps combined with a picnic! The table-tennis table is under cover along at the farm.

So that every-one has a break, delicious suppers can be delivered to your cottage door! See Suzie's Supper Menu on Rates page.

You can be confident that the cottages are clean and very comfortably furnished. I hope we have thought of everything, so you will feel very much at home. If you do need anything, we live at the other end of the cottage lane and are always happy to help.
